NAMEntsrv - start hosted Inferno as Windows service
SYNOPSISntsrv add svcname rootdir cmd [arg ... ]
ntsrv del svcname
DESCRIPTION
Ntsrv is a command (for Windows only) that allows hosted Inferno to run
automatically as a Windows service, under Windows 2000 and XP. For
Windows NT, use the command ntsrv4, which otherwise has identical
interface. Svcname is the (proposed) Windows service name; rootdir is
the root of the Inferno directory tree, including the drive letter.
Once added, a service can be controlled using the Windows service man‐
ager: it may be stopped, started, or have its attributes changed. Svc‐
name is set to start automatically when Windows starts up. Services
run by default under the local Windows `System' identity. All Windows
processes and threads the service creates (eg, using cmd(3)) are
destroyed when the service is stopped. There may be many different
services, each with a distinct svcname.
Ntsrv 's first parameter tells it what to do:
add Add a new service svcname that when started will invoke emu(1)
to run the Inferno command cmd with any additional arguments.
del Delete an existing service svcname.
Ntsrv requires the directory rootdir/Nt/386/bin to contain both emu.exe
(ie, emu(1)) and ntsrv.exe itself.
